Herring Salad with Layers

Start by dicing the herring fillet into small pieces and spread as your first layer.

Finely chop the onion, pour boiling water over it for 1–2 minutes to soften the bite, let it cool, then layer it on top.

Grate the apple on a fine grater and make that your third layer.

Spread a thin coat of mayonnaise over the layers.

Boil the potatoes and carrots until tender, grate them, and add as the next layer. Lightly spread with mayonnaise.

Hard-boil the eggs, separate the whites from the yolks. Grate the whites and layer them over the carrots. Spread with a touch more mayonnaise.

Top everything with a layer of grated cooked beets.

Finish by sprinkling grated egg yolk over the top, or garnish however you like.
